Loyalty to Christ

The Rev. J. M. Foster in the Christian Statesman of July 7 has an article on "Loyalty to Christ," in which one of the propositions for which he contends is, "The believer accepts Christ's life as his model." Now applying this to the Sabbath question, which day will he keep who accepts Christ's life as his model?—The seventh day of the week, most assuredly. Jesus knew no other Sabbath, observed no other, taught no other. Loyalty to Christ demands that we follow him, that we take his life as our model. In this Mr. Foster speaks truly; but, according to God's word, following Christ will lead us to observe the same day and for the same reasons which he did, namely, the seventh day of the week.
